17) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Mark 8: Jesus warns his disciples against the

Pharisees and their leaven and the one of Herod!

 

- Yes, the religious leaders are dangerous

because they look for their own interests!

 

- They are more interested in man’s tradition

than God’s word!

 

- It can only lead to the wrong way!

 

- Remember the destruction of Jerusalem!

 

- The foreign army would come and leave

and come again to stay!

 

- When they first left, it was the signal to go

away!

 

- But the religious leaders didn’t follow

Jesus’ advice!

 

- And Jerusalem was destroyed and the

inhabitants who didn’t listen to Jesus but

to the religious leaders paid a high price!

 

About Mark:

- Yes, I prefer to do like the Bereans in

Acts 17:11 who used to examine carefully

the Scriptures daily to check what Paul

was telling them!

 

- But concerning what happened after

Jesus’ death is another story!

 

- It went in all directions and the religious

leaders were eager to defend their own

interests and pay more attention to man’s

tradition!

 

- Remember the “super apostles” Paul speaks

about!

 

- And Christianity became the religion of the

Roman Empire and they mixed everything!

 

- It became an exotic mixture which had

nothing to do with Jesus’ teaching!

 

- The religious leaders were busy going

nowhere except serving their own interests!

 

- Is that the lambs among the wolves or the

wolves among the lambs?

 

 

 

- Death or slavery!

 

- And the scenario didn’t happen once!

 

- Exactly the same situation and the same

end!

I was ok sleeping in the lazy boy chair but I wanted to lay down with my wife for a bit. My lungs filled up with fluids and I quit breathing. She performed CPR witing for the fire dept to use a defibulator to get my heart going. The last thing I remember is waking her up. 

- And after your coma?

- Depending on the duration, you may have to start learning everything!

God is a God of miracles. If anything I improved. Although there was some damage because my heart was stopped for the amount of time it took the fire department to get here. That is why only one in 12,000 survive that situation. People on the operating table are revived a lot quicker. 

This was in 2005 so it was a while ago.

18) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Mark 8: Jesus tells the crowd and his disciples

that to come after him means disown oneself

and pick up his torture stake and keep following

him!

 

- Losing his life for Jesus’ sake and for the sake

of the good news means save it!

 

- There is no worth gaining the whole world

and lose his life!

 

- Yes, the religious leaders want to gain the

whole world and lose their lives!

 

- It is not possible to get both!

 

- it is not possible to serve two masters at the

same time!

 

- We need to make a choice!

 

- But you can’t let the religious leaders decide

for yourselves!

 

- You must do it yourselves!

19) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Mark 9: Jesus asks his disciples about what

they are arguing about on the road!

 

- They don’t want to answer because it is

about who is greater!

 

- So he tells them that the one who wants

to be first must be last of all and minister of all!

 

- Religious leaders, political leaders and

commercial leaders want to be greater!

 

- They are only looking for power!

 

- But power leads to destruction!

 

- Each empire went up and down!

 

- And the world is going down!

 

- But the worst is that it is going down

faster and faster!

 

- But religious leaders, political leaders and

commercial leaders are not going to last, they

just think about the present, they don’t care

about the future!

 

- They just need illusion, they don’t care

about reality!

20) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Mark 10: Some Pharisees asks Jesus whether

it is lawful for a man to divorce a wife!

 

- If The israelites were authorized to divorce

their wives by writing a certificate of dismissal

according to Moses and their hardheartedness,

from the beginning of creation, man and woman

must become one flesh and can’t divorce!

 

- Once again man’s tradition vs God’s word!

 

- You can’t choose both!

 

- You must choose one!

 

- It’s a simple one!

 

- Man tries to find ways not to choose!

 

- It doesn’t work!

 

- There is only one way!

 

- Man is always trying to follow his own way!

 

- He will only get lost!

 

- The Israelites chose the wrong one and they

got lost!

 

- Humanity will always choose the same wrong

way and get lost!

21) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Mark 10: People bring young children to Jesus

so he can touch them!

 

- But the disciples reprimand them!

 

- Jesus is indignant!

 

- He tells them to let them come to him

because God’s Kingdom belongs to such one!

 

- He says it is necessary to receive God’s

Kingdom like a young child otherwise it is

not possible to enter into it!

 

- These words are incredible!

 

- Because this world is turning young

children into ZOMBIES!

 

- Yes, this superficial world is taking away

CURIOSITY from young children!

 

- They just want to watch TV and play video games!

 

- They don’t want to know anymore!

 

- So think about today’s adults!

interests !

23) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Mark 10: Jesus tells his disciples that it will be

difficult for those who are rich to enter into

the Kingdom of God!

 

- The religious leaders like money!

 

- They want to defend their personal interests!

 

- They are not interested in God’s interests!

 

- They are not interested in people’s interests!

 

- They need people to control them and to get

power!

 

- People don’t need them!

24) Jesus vs the religious leaders

 

Mark 10: Jesus tells his disciples that they

must not act as the nations do!

 

- On the contrary, if one wants to become

great among them must be their minister

and their slave!

 

- They must act as Jesus didministering and

giving his life as a ransom for many!

 

- Yes, those who have power use it for their

own benefits!

 

- Power is never enough!

 

- They always want more!

 

- It’s always a competition to be the greatest!

 

- It shouldn’t be so!

 

- People should be careful!

 

- But do they really care?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
